Fantastic location, the place itself was incredible. The kitchen/living room was huge, very spacious, big windows so lots of light and very well equipped. Private and out of the way. Bedrooms and bathrooms were an excellent size, well equipped, and very clean. Beds very very comfortable. The area was very quiet, convenient (bus stop nearby, trains within walking distance, shop within walking distance although a hill to get there but that didn't bother us at all). The apartment we stayed in was downstairs which was perfect for us as it was quiet and out of the way. The only downside was the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived (and couldn't find cups to make tea!) but this was easily resolved by turning on the dishwasher and the rest of the apartment was spotless so can't really complain.

Friendly and good value hotel

Frequent bus service means you can save money staying at this hotel, mid way between the steam and electric railways, but still enjoy everything the island has to offer. As others have said, walls are thin so bring ear plugs. Also bear in mind if you’re bringing suitcases that there are no lifts. Wonderful welcome and friendly staff.
